Is there any way that I can access the music on my Naim Core, when the Core is on my home network, and I have my iPad with me away from home.
It would be great if I could access my ripped music when I am on holiday, miles away from the Core, and able to listen to it on my iPhone or iPad.
Roon could do it. You would need to run a Roon server on your home network, give it access to your Core, and run the Arc app on your iOS devices. This comes at a cost, and there may be other cheaper ways to achieve the same
thing. Possibly VLC but I’m not certain.

Can you create a VPN on your home router ?
Jriver media center can do it; again it would need access to the files on the core, and you’d need to leave a pc on running the software, but it works well. One off payment for the licence, £25 or £30. You’d need to open a port on your router and set up the same number in the options in jriver.

That’s the easy part….Getting UPnP to reliably flow across VPN not so easy….’Connecting’ to the Core’s IP (and thus browsing the HDD contents) is no problem, but ‘playing’ from the Core remotely will be more problematic…
Sonos is a a good example of remote UPnP issues, almost impossible to control remotely…
As @ChrisSU and @robert_h have suggested, may be a whole lot easier to go via a ‘middle man’ of software, where you are actually connecting and controlling the local playing software interface remotely, not the actual Core itself, as such….

Can’t VLC access SMB shares?
You could have your files in the Cloud and then use the Evermusic app.
I think that the app would also support playing from attached storage. So, load files on to suitabke storage. Plug in to iPad and play music.
